Lakers jersey history No. 0 — Russell Westbrook
Through the 2024-25 season, the Los Angeles Lakers have had a total of 506 players suit up for them, going back to their days in Minneapolis. Some were forgettable, some were serviceable, some were good and a select few were flat-out legendary. As the Lakers approach their 80th season of existence (they were founded back in 1946 as the Detroit Gems in the National Basketball League), LeBron Wire is taking a look at each player who has worn their jersey, whether it has been a purple and gold one or the ones they donned back in the Midwest during their early years. We will now take a look at Russell Westbrook, who had a brief and controversial stint with the Lakers. Westbrook grew up in the Southland and attended Leuzinger High School in Lawndale, and he played two years of college basketball at the University of California, Los Angeles. While in college, he was named the Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year in 2008. The quick, ultra-athletic guard was the No. 4 overall pick in a talented 2008 NBA Draft by the Seattle SuperSonics, who became the Oklahoma City Thunder shortly afterward. Along with Kevin Durant and fellow L.A. native James Harden, Westbrook became a major part of a young Thunder squad that seemed poised to take over the NBA. But after it lost to LeBron James' Miami Heat in the 2012 NBA Draft, Harden was traded to the Houston Rockets. Four years later, Durant joined the Golden State Warriors, and Westbrook was left to carry Oklahoma City by himself. Well, he certainly tried. During the 2016-17 season, he became the second NBA player and first in over half a century to average a triple-double for an entire season. He would end up averaging a triple-double four times in five years, even after he was traded to the Houston Rockets in 2019 and the Washington Wizards in 2020. The Lakers dealt Kyle Kuzma, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Montrezl Harrell and Isaiah Jackson to get Westbrook in the summer of 2021, apparently at the behest of LeBron James. The trade quickly became an unmitigated disaster. It was bad enough that Westbrook didn't fit in alongside James and Anthony Davis, but L.A. also gave up several serviceable players to get him, and to this day, it has therefore lacked tradeable assets. The decision was quickly made to trade Westbrook, and Lakers fans heavily scapegoated him. Executive Rob Pelinka was patient, and he eventually dealt Westbrook in February 2023, along with a 2027 first-round draft pick, in a three-team trade that brought them guard D'Angelo Russell, Jarred Vanderbilt and Malik Beasley. Westbrook ended up averaging 17.4 points, 7.2 assists and 6.9 rebounds a game as a member of the Lakers. He joined the Los Angeles Clippers after the Lakers traded him and played one and a half seasons there before spending this past season with the Denver Nuggets.

"Phew, phew... that's how LeBron felt, how do you like that?" - Lance Stephenson still regrets blowing in LeBron's ear after what a drunk fan did
"Phew, phew... that's how LeBron felt, how do you like that?" - Lance Stephenson still regrets blowing in LeBron's ear after what a drunk fan did originally appeared on Basketball Network. Lance Stephenson never had the kind of career that's getting its own documentary. He bounced around the league, played for eight different teams and the highest scoring average he ever put up came during the 2015-16 season with the Memphis Grizzlies — 14.2 points per game, for those wondering. But for all the midrange pull-ups and flashy ball fakes, there's one moment that will live on long after his stats are forgotten. Yeah, that moment, when Lance leaned over during the 2014 Eastern Conference Finals and gently blew into LeBron James' ear. One of the most "memeable" NBA moments It was both weird and hilarious. And it instantly became one of the most "memeable" moments in NBA history. Game 5, Indiana Pacers vs. Miami Heat, with Indiana trying to avoid elimination. Everyone knew Miami was the better team; they were deeper, more experienced and led by the best player on the planet. But Lance? He wasn't trying to match LeBron bucket for bucket. His job was to disrupt, distract, get in his head any way possible. So he tried the unthinkable and ended up creating a moment that still follows him to this day. During the early 2010s, the Pacers and Heat squared off in what became one of the NBA's fiercest postseason rivalries. On one side, you had Miami's Big 3. On the other, a rugged Indiana squad that prided itself on defense, physicality, and making LeBron's life hell for 48 (and sometimes even more) minutes. And at the center of that chaos was Stephenson, Indiana's wild card, tasked with pestering the King at every turn. But even in that high-stakes environment, nobody expected Lance to pull out that move. And at the time, Stephenson didn't think much of it either. It was just another mind game. Only later did he realize that moment would follow him well beyond the court. "I ain't gonna lie, I regret it sometimes, because we was at the club… and I'm standing at the bar and some drunk dude coming, 'Pheew, pheew,'" recalled Lance while imitating the blowing he felt right next to his ear. "I was like, 'Yo, what the f—-, are you crazy?' and he was like, 'That's how LeBron felt, how do you like that? I was about to go ham! I was about to go crazy on him," the fiery wing added, laughing about it will always be remembered as the guy who did "The Blow" Lance was never the quiet type. From dancing after big shots to staring opponents down after and-ones, even strumming the air like a guitar during player intros. That chaotic, unpredictable energy was baked into his DNA. It's what made him a fan favorite, and depending on the night, either a spark plug or a coach's headache. He might not go down as a guy who led his team to a title or racked up jaw-dropping stats, but he carved out a place in basketball history all the same, just not for the reasons he might've envisioned. Because at the end of the day, he is, and will always be remembered as the guy who blew into the King's ear. And like it or not, that's something, right?This story was originally reported by Basketball Network on Jul 23, 2025, where it first appeared.
